I have an unusually difficult to reach set of screws on a wall sconce lighting fixture. I need a right angle screwdriver, but I need the length after the top bend to be about 4 inches vs the 1.18” shown in this diagram.
Do these exist? I’m having a difficult time finding them.
Thanks!
It’s a well-known element of multiple entries of the TV franchise, and I know some rules have been written to describe how it is played - but is it _enjoyable_ to be played? Does it add a nice element of strategy, or does it come across as a clumsy gimmick, or something else?
I get that as essentially a live-action comic book, that it’s natural to leave the main characters in their standard costume, like we always see Charlie Brown in that same shirt.
I also know that what Gabrielle wore changed over time. But even there it wasn’t like we saw her with 2 outfits at once.
Did we ever seen them casually during the day in something other than their “uniform?”
I mentioned this briefly in a comment to another post in this thread, but I wanted to highlight this aspect of her life.
I’m guessing 100s of millions, perhaps over a billion, people worldwide face issues with a chronic medical condition that requires intervention. The daily interventions range from something as simple as taking a pill at breakfast every morning to requiring 24/7 constant nursing care. The restrictions on life can be as simple as “don’t eat peanuts” to extremely life limiting.
In thinking about it a bit - that’s Seven in a nutshell.
She was attacked by a pathogen: Borg nanoprobes
She was deeply impacted by them: mind control for many years.
Interventions restored some, not all, of her functionality: Janeway kept her from returning to the Borg. The Doctor removed many impacts of the original Borg attack on her body.
Her life is still heavily constrained: strong emotions, like romantic love, pose a great risk of mortality.
The disease (implants) is chronic: it remains in her body and can flare up unexpectedly (implants that sprout in new areas)
She requires daily multi-hour interventions (regeneration alcove) that remind me of dialysis in the length of time they take. Like dialysis, if she misses too many of these interventions, she will die. An episode brought this up.
Net-net: All of these combined cause me to consider Seven, as the most fleshed-out chronically medically compromised person in Star Trek.
As a show, Voyager gave us many exciting episodes of seven recovering from an assault on her body by the Borg. And those are a perfectly valid way to look at what happened to her: she was assaulted!
I wish to add: the results of that assault create parallels to chronically ill people who regularly face significant life limitations and require regular medical intervention. As a show, Voyager addressed multiple of these issues in isolation. I do wish there had been an episode where they addressed the totality of these issues head-on and made plain how she is, fundamentally, facing some issues similar to the chronically ill (with obvious exceptions: she is ambulatory, able to work full time, etc.) Done with sensitivity and intelligence, it might have been quite good.
I’ve been prescribed flomax (which I am taking) and also I have phenazopyridine.
I’ve had a stent before this. This one was just pulled out - and two hours later I was in the ER with absolutely horrible pain - worse than any I had before then.
So… anyone take any over the counter pain medicine before stent removal? Does it help?
People can use whatever term they want for themselves or groups they’re part of, yet I still wish to read what people’s reaction to this one is. Thx!
Anyone who has been to LOTRO Gondor knows they love their giant stone faces poking out of towers, walls, you name it! There’s even giant faces on the bridge to Cair Andros!
Whose faces? Where?
